Google launches Universal Cart in the U.S. across Google Search's AI Mode and the Gemini app, letting shoppers save products from multiple retailers in one cart.

Google says the cart sends alerts when a saved item's price drops or it comes back in stock, and it draws on the Shopping Graph of more than 60 billion product listings. Shoppers can check out with Google Pay from merchants including Nike, Sephora, Target and Walmart.

ZDNet reports that the cart surfaces relevant promo codes and card benefits, and that Google released a When to Buy Guide analyzing promotional patterns and discount data across U.S. merchants. TechCrunch reports that the cart followed a May preview at Google I/O and that checkout runs through Google's Universal Commerce Protocol. The Verge reports that Google plans to integrate the cart with Gmail and YouTube but has not announced a timeline.
